Food and Drink Operations

Welcome to the subject homepage for SVQs in Food and Drink Operations.

SQA offers SVQs in Food and Drinks Operations at SCQF levels 5 and 6. These awards have been developed from the standards produced by NSAFD, the Sector Skills Council (SSC) for the Food and Drink industry.

In this subject homepage, you will find information relating to the structure of each award, assessment guidance and candidate recording forms for each Unit. We hope that you find this information interesting and useful.

Important information: As of 1 September 2016, all SVQs with an established SCQF level no longer include the SVQ level in their titles. Please note that our web pages and documents will gradually be updated over time as the SVQs are reviewed, so may still contain the existing titles. More information on SCQF levels can be found on our SCQF web page.
